Dictionary of Biblical Words:
Being put out of sight in the earth, as Abraham said, “that I may bury my dead out of my sight.” Through burial with Christ, effected in figure by baptism, (Rom. 6; Col. 2:12), we become disciples of Him who has passed away from earth by death and burial (1 Cor. 15:4). what is buried is the old “I” which is crucified with Christ (Gal. 2:20).
